Summary/Abstract: The purpose for which God created the world is perfection. This means that the world is not left in a relative form. The perfection given by God is not just for one man, but for all, and not just for the soul, but for the whole being. Perfection is offered in the whole man, not just in the part. That is why the Son of God became incarnate and rose again, to be a paradigm for us. By what he has done, he has opened for us the way to eternity. The interpretations of the writings of the authors consulted are manifold, but they reinforce the possible ambiguities that already existed in the theological space. Thus, the following can be deduced from the treatment of this topic: First of all, universal eschatology is a chapter of Dogmatics that is very broad and mystical, not fully touched. It is very likely to be a chapter of Dogmatics that will not be able to be exhaustively discussed, although the writings consulted have tried their best to do so. Eschatology thus encompasses all the moments that will lead to the Kingdom of God. Man finds his wholeness only by passing into the eschaton. In other words, man is created to have an eternal life with God. Only eschatology actually encompasses all these details that culminate in the life of all humanity in the eshaton.
